I had a wonderful stay at Congress Hall, where the historic charm and luxurious oceanfront views truly enhanced my experience. The staff were exceptionally helpful, making me feel welcomed and well cared for. However, I did encounter a few minor inconveniences, such as a lack of in-room coffee makers and some slow service at the pool. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel for its ambiance and excellent location near the beach and shops.

Congress Hall's location is absolutely perfect, right across from the beach and within walking distance to charming shops and restaurants.

I thoroughly enjoyed the meals at the Blue Pig Tavern, where both breakfast and lunch options were deliciously prepared. The Brown Room bar also had a fantastic selection of cocktails. My only drawback was that the service could be a bit slow during peak times, which made meal times a bit lengthy.

Congress Hall offers a lovely pool area, which looked inviting, but I found the adult pool a little smaller than expected. The gardens around the hotel were well-kept and added to the overall serene environment. I wish there had been more amenities available, like in-room coffee makers to start my mornings right.
